# ai-rules-sync > A tool to synchronize AI coding rules across multiple AI coding assistants and IDEs from a single source of truth. ai-rules-sync is an open-source tool that lets developers maintain a single source of AI coding rules and automatically synchronize them across multiple AI coding assistants and development environments. Instead of manually duplicating rule files for each tool, you define your rules once and let ai-rules-sync distribute them everywhere. It is designed to reduce configuration drift and keep your AI assistant behavior consistent across your entire workflow. - **Centralized Rule Management**: *Define your AI coding rules in one place and sync them to all supported tools automatically, eliminating duplication.* - **Multi-Tool Support**: *Syncs rules to popular AI coding assistants and IDEs such as Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, and others that use rule/instruction files.* - **Single Source of Truth**: *Maintain one canonical rules file and let the tool handle propagation, ensuring all assistants follow the same guidelines.* - **Open Source**: *Hosted on GitHub under an open-source license, allowing community contributions and full transparency into how rules are synced.* - **Easy Setup**: *Clone the repository or install via the provided method, configure your rules source, and run the sync command to distribute rules instantly.* - **Lightweight CLI Workflow**: *Operates as a command-line tool, making it easy to integrate into scripts, CI pipelines, or developer dotfile setups.* ## Features - Sync AI coding rules across multiple tools - Single source of truth for rule configuration - Supports multiple AI coding assistants - CLI-based workflow - Open source and community-driven ## Integrations Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot ## Platforms CLI, WEB ## Pricing Open Source ## Links - Website: https://lbb00.github.io/ai-rules-sync/ - Documentation: https://lbb00.github.io/ai-rules-sync/ - Repository: https://github.com/lbb00/ai-rules-sync - EveryDev.ai: https://www.everydev.ai/tools/ai-rules-sync
